This day looked fine for the first day. I had a total of 1511 calories and of those calories 35% came from fat, 49% from
carbs and 17% from protein. I also went to the YMCA and so I burned some calories there. I think this day could have been better because I should have cut back on the foods that contain a lot of fat and eaten more foods with
carbs.

It seems that I ate a lot this day. I had a total of 3413 calories with 38% coming from fat, 44% from
carbs and 18% from protein. I also went to the YMCA so that did help but I should have cut back on the fats and eaten more
carbs. I need to work on that.
October 3, 2007
I don’t think I wanted to eat this day. I had a total of 1000 calories for intake. Of those 1000 calories 54% came from fat, which is way too much, 32% came from
carbs and 15% from protein. I really need to cut back on fatty foods and add more
carbs to my diet. It’s starting to look like a reoccurring problem.

This day was so-so. I had a total calorie intake of 1500 calories. Of those calories 43% came from fat, 42% from
carbs and 15% from protein. I added a little more
carbs to my diet but I still ate too much fatty foods. I really need to work on that. So I could have eaten more bread, or maybe a pasta salad, and I would have been better. I think it was the cheesy potatoes that I ate at lunch that added a lot of fat to what I ate. Next time I’ll just have potatoes without the cheese.

This day looked a little better. My total calorie intake was 2189 calories. Of those calories 37% came from fat, 45% from
carbs and 17% from protein. I still need to cut back on the fatty foods and eat more
carbs. Maybe I should have eaten so many chicken nuggets. I’ll work on that.
October 6, 2007
The day before looked a lot better than this day. My calorie intake was 1415 calories. The chart says that 41% was from fat, 43% from
carbs and 16% from protein. I really need to work on this: cut back on the fat and add more
carbs.

This day looked a lot better. I had 1684 calories for my intake. The chart says that 38% of the calories came from fat, 51% from
carbs and 11% from protein. Even though the protein is very low I actually hit the target for fat and
carb percentage. Maybe I’ll have a waffle and cereal every morning but add more foods with protein.
October 8, 2007
I don’t quite know what to think for this day. I had a calorie intake of 1710 calories. Of those calories 41% came from fat, 45% from
carbs and 15% from protein. I think I need to work on this. I may be breaking the habit for one day but that’s not enough to make it a lifestyle change. I should not have had so much salad because according to the chart that’s the food that had the most fat in it. Actually, I wont have dressing on the salad next time I eat it, or else maybe a low fat dressing.

This day looked OK. I had a total calorie intake of 1393 calories. The chart says that 34% came from fat, 49% from
carbs and 17% from protein. Actually it looks better than I thought. I still should cut back on the fats and add more
carbs but this actually is close. It was the chicken sandwich that added so much fat to my diet. Maybe I’ll have a smaller sandwich next time.

This day looks horrible. I had a calorie intake of 1422 calories. But, 58% was from fat, 29% from
carbs and 14% from protein. This is horrible. I
shouldn’t have over half of my diet from fat and have no
carbs and really no protein. It looks like I had two salads that day and both had dressing. I should just not have the dressing. Maybe next time I’ll add a bunch of croutons to my salad instead of dressing.
October 11, 2007
I must not have wanted to eat this day because my calorie intake is low. I had an intake of 951 calories. Of those calories 30% was from fat, 50% from
carbs and 20% from protein. Actually this day looks really good, but I should maybe eat more than I did because I should not be going on 951 calories for one day it’s just too low.
October 12, 2007
This day was OK. I had a calorie intake of 1065 calories. Of those calories 46% came from fat, 36% from
carbs and 19% from protein. What I don’t understand is that the food that contained the most fat was my taco salad and I
didn’t have dressing with it. Maybe it was the cheese and sour cream that I added to my salad. Next time I’ll just cut back on the cheese and add no sour cream.
October 13, 2007
I don’t know what to think of this day. I had a total calorie intake of 1549 calories. The chart says that 43% came from fat, 42% from
carbs and 15% from protein. I really need to stop adding dressing to my salad. It seems that the days that I had too much fat in my diet were the days that I had a salad with dressing. So no more dressing, or at least have low fat dressings.
October 14, 2007
This day was horrible. I had a calorie intake of 1552 calories. Of those calories 50% was from fat, 37% from
carbs and 13% from protein. Again it’s the salad with dressing and it’s also the macaroni and cheese that I had for lunch. I’m not going to have that again. It looks like it’s both salads with dressing and cheese that add too much fat to my diet.
October 15, 2007
This day was better than the day before. I had a calorie intake of 2225 calories. Of those calories 39% came from fat, 43% from
carbs and 17% from protein. It looks a lot better but I could still lighten up on the fat and add more
carbs to my diet. It looks like it’s the chicken nuggets that added too much fat to my diet. So, it looks like I need to eat salads with no dressing or low fat dressing, eat no cheese and watch the ever-fattening chicken meat.
I think I’
ve learned some things through this. I actually enjoyed doing it and seeing what foods I need to lessen up on and what I need to add to my diet. So I’
ve learned something and now I’m going to apply it to my life. See ya!
